Women make up 75% of the healthcare workforce – yet occupy less than 25% of influential leadership positions. WLGH18 supports women in all forms of leadership from local communities to global organisations, from science to politics. Join us at the conference to be part of the conversation and engage in mentoring and skills building opportunities. The current speaker list boasts an impressive list of influential people from the LSHTM alumni community and beyond, and the conference is set to build on last year’s strong foundations of engaging and developing a strong community.
